Use the following information to answer the next two exercises : The following data are the distances between 20 retail stores and a large distribution center. The distances are in miles.
29; 37; 38; 40; 58; 67; 68; 69; 76; 86; 87; 95; 96; 96; 99; 106; 112; 127; 145; 150
Two baseball players, Fredo and Karl, on different teams wanted to find out who had the higher batting average when compared to his team. Which baseball player had the higher batting average when compared to his team?
Baseball Player |
Batting Average |
Team Batting Average |
Team Standard Deviation |
Fredo |
0.158 |
0.166 |
0.012 |
Karl |
0.177 |
0.189 |
0.015 |
For Fredo:
z =
= –0.67
For Karl:
z =
= –0.8
Fredo’s
z -score of –0.67 is higher than Karl’s
z -score of –0.8. For batting average, higher values are better, so Fredo has a better batting average compared to his team.

- If our population were all professional football players, would the above data be a sample of weights or the population of weights? Why?
- If our population included every team member who ever played for the San Francisco 49ers, would the above data be a sample of weights or the population of weights? Why?
- Assume the population was the San Francisco 49ers. Find:
- the population mean,
μ .
- the population standard deviation,
σ .
- the weight that is two standard deviations below the mean.
- When Steve Young, quarterback, played football, he weighed 205 pounds. How many standard deviations above or below the mean was he?
- That same year, the mean weight for the Dallas Cowboys was 240.08 pounds with a standard deviation of 44.38 pounds. Emmit Smith weighed in at 209 pounds. With respect to his team, who was lighter, Smith or Young? How did you determine your answer?
